Chapter 210: Wang Qian's persistence

Commanding a war for a lifetime, fighting with the State of Chu, the soldiers on both sides add up to hundreds of thousands, which is almost the peak of his life, Wang Jian originally thought that I am afraid that there will be no such a big war on this land for many years.

But now, a country with a population of more than 100 million, mobilizing millions of troops, he would not be surprised, such a huge war, if possible, he would never want to let go.

After speaking, Wang Jian glanced at Qi Jiguang up and down, although His Majesty said that Qi Jiguang has never lost a single battle in his life, but he has also never lost dozens of battles, such a war, Qi Jiguang is qualified to command, and he Wang Jian is also qualified to command.

Zhao Wen pretended not to see Wang Qian's expectation, but looked at Qi Jiguang and motioned for him to answer.

The choice of Qi Jiguang instead of Wang Jian in this battle has nothing to do with the strength of the two of them, just because Qi Jiguang is more familiar with the world of the Song Dynasty and the Water Margin, not only familiar with the terrain, but also familiar with the character and style of the other party's leading generals, which Wang Jian cannot compare with in any case.

Seeing Qi Jiguang continue to introduce how he would use his troops, the three cabinet members and the first emperor sighed secretly in their hearts at the same time, and it was not until after Qi Jiguang finished introducing that Wang Juan questioned: "The minister now has only one question, whether General Qi has the ability to command millions of troops to carry out such a huge battle to destroy the country!" ”

He said that he was a minister, but in fact he was looking in the direction of Zhang Juzheng, here Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang came out of the same world, and they knew Qi Jiguang's strength best.

In such a huge battle, if there is a problem with the command, it will not only lose the prestige of Great Qin, but also the lives of countless elites.

Hearing Wang Juan question his ability, Qi Jiguang lowered his head slightly.

Zhang Juzheng got up and saluted Zhao Wenyi: "At the beginning of this battle, it was mainly fought in the south, General Qi Jiguang was originally a general in the south, and he fought dozens of battles in the south, without a single defeat, and was promoted to the north after being favored by the ministers!" ”

"In the face of the grassland cavalry in the north, General Qi has no defeat in the same big and small battles, and the loss of his own strength is still very small, in the eyes of the minister, the famous generals of the ancient times are at most like this, and the battle to destroy the Song Dynasty is also to fight from the south to the north, General Qi is definitely the most suitable commander!"

After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, whether it was the First Emperor or Wang Jian or even the three members of the cabinet, they looked in the direction of Qi Jiguang and were obviously surprised, the difficulty of the northern grassland tribes was difficult to deal with, everyone here knew about it, and even Daqin had to spend huge manpower and material resources to build the Great Wall.

Moreover, there are many cavalry in the north, and boats are used in the south, but the middle-aged man in front of him, who does not look good, actually fought from the south to the north, and was undefeated in dozens of battles!

"Okay, I will personally sit in this battle, and General Qi Jiguang will command, and this matter will be decided!"

Although Zhao Wen was able to forcibly suppress it from the beginning, he still waited until the doubts of the cabinet and the military cabinet were lifted before he spoke, the war of annihilation of hundreds of millions of people also involved the resettlement of the people behind, and Daqin must work together.

The commander of the troops was selected, and the strategy was naturally Qi Jiguang's first south and then north.

However, when choosing the generals to go on the expedition, Wang Jian put forward new suggestions.

"In a country with a population of hundreds of millions, there will be at least thousands of cities in danger, if you want to fight down, there will inevitably be a large number of siege battles, and experienced veterans must be fought, my Daqin now has a large number of experienced veterans, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, you can bring all these veterans!"

Seeing that Zhao Wen's face was unhappy, Wang Jian bowed respectfully, but said very resolutely: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that these veterans are too greedy and want to promote newcomers, but if the siege war is fought by newcomers, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses!" ”

"Siege warfare is indeed not something that an inexperienced general can fight!" The First Emperor couldn't help frowning when he thought of the several siege battles in the process of unifying the Six Kingdoms, many times he fought completely human life, and replaced by a newcomer, even if he had such determination, he didn't have the ability to grasp the flaws.

"There are a large number of veterans in the military cabinet today,

Many of them are even only in their thirties, these people have rich experience in warfare, and the minister suggested that they can bring all of them this time, even if they are just serving as deputies, their experience can be very useful at critical moments! ”

Zhao Wen has never doubted the war experience of eliminating generals in the Qin army, but Zhao Wen will not doubt the greed and selfishness of these people.

And in any case, the age of these people dooms them to have no potential for growth.

Thinking that the Jinyi guards were distributed in various cities, plus he was personally in charge, and there was a commander like Qi Jiguang commanding, he really didn't believe that there would be many siege battles to fight, Zhao Wen's eyes gradually became firm.

"These veterans were born and died for my Great Qin, and now that they are old, I really can't bear to continue to let them run around on the battlefield, and the cultivation system of the new world is unique, and the combat power in the battle array is even stronger!"

Although he looks down on these people, after all, he has unified the world, and he has contributed to Daqin, so Zhao Wen can still do it so that these people can retire in peace.

"The minister heard about the characteristics of the cultivation system of the new world last night, uu reading the book The general will inevitably die in battle, and I also ask Your Majesty to allow these veterans to do their last effort for Daqin, after this battle is over, the new general will also grow up, and the war behind is their responsibility!" There was coldness in Wang Qian's voice.

Zhao Wen turned his head to look at Wang Jian in amazement, the other party's intention was already to let these veterans go to the death in battle, even if Zhao Wen was ruthless, he didn't have the idea of letting these Qin generals all die.

Wang Jian smiled bitterly in his heart, this is already the last way for the veteran of Qindi.

The generals of the new army give priority to promoting those who have cultivation talents, and although the stone tablets of the basic internal force are erected at the entrance of various county yamen, the age of these veterans is obviously past the best cultivation time.

Those who have a relationship with them in the army have all been eliminated, and those who remain are young people, Your Majesty does not need these veterans, and the young people in the army naturally look down on them.

The selection of the forbidden army in the Qin capital also left some 100 generals and 500 masters with qualified physical strength, but the Great Wall Legion, the Northwest Army Corps and the Yanzhao Legion directly sent all the officers back to the military cabinet without leaving any of them.

In the long run, the Qindi military gate will all be eliminated from the army, and there is no possibility of gaining a foothold in the army.

Your Majesty may not have such a meaning, but the people below will figure out the intention and even deliberately exaggerate, and cut off any possibility that Your Majesty does not like it.

They are all old brothers who have followed him to fight for decades, even if it is to give Qin Di Jiangmen a way out, he must let these veterans join this big war.

In order for the next generation not to be treated differently in the army, you can even let all these veterans die in battle, and fight for a way into the army for future generations with their lives!
